[FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="Teal"]What I Know for Sure About Women~By Mark Leyner
1. Even little girls, in all their blithe, unharrowed innocence, have a presentiment of sorrow, hardship, and adversity...of loss. Women, throughout their lives, have an intrinsic and profound understanding of Keats' sentiments about "Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips Bidding adieu."
2. This sage knowledge of, and ability to abide, the inherently fugitive nature of happiness somehow accounts for the extraordinary beauty of women as they age.
3. Women have an astonishing capacity to maintain their equilibrium in the face of life's mutability, its unceasing and unforeseeable vicissitudes. And this agility is always in stark and frequently comical contradistinction to men's naïvely bullish and brittle delusions that things can forever remain exactly the same.
4. Women are forgiving but implacably cognizant.
5. Women are almost never gullible but sometimes relax their vigilance out of loneliness. (And I believe most women abhor loneliness.)
6. In their most casual, offhand, sisterly moments, women are capable of discussing sex in such uninhibited detail that it would cause a horde of carousing Cossacks to cringe.
7. Women are, for all intents and purposes, indomitable. It really requires an almost unimaginable confluence of crushing, cataclysmic forces to vanquish a woman.
8. Women's instincts for self-preservation and survival can seem to men to be inscrutably unsentimental and sometimes cruel.
9. Women have a very specific kind of courage that enables them to fling themselves into the open sea—whether it's a new life for themselves, another person's life, or even what might appear to be a kind of madness.
10. Women never—no matter how old they are—completely relinquish their aristocratic assumption of seductiveness.
And here is one last thing I know—and I know this with a certitude that exceeds anything I've said before: that men's final thoughts in their waking days and in their lives are of women...ardent, wistful thoughts of wives and lovers and daughters and mothers.

The Old Cowboy
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Yellow"]You think you've lived to be 71 and know who you are.An old cowboy sits down at the Starbucks and orders a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sits down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asks, "Are you a real cowboy?" He replied. "Well....my whole life I've been breakin' colts, workin' cows, goin' to rodeos, fixin' fences, pullin' calves, bailin' hay, doctorin' calves, cleanin' my barn, fixin' flats, workin' on tractors, and feedin' my dogs. So I guess that makes me a real cowboy."
She said, "I'm a lesbian, I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I think about women. When I watch TV, I think about women. I even think about women when I eat. It seems that everything I do makes me think about women."
The two sat sipping in silence. A little while, a man sat down on the other side of the cowboy and asks, "Are you a real cowboy?" He replied, "Well....I always thought I was, but I just found out that I'm a lesbian."[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Lime"]A man was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island.
After being there awhile, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset.
One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance.
As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it.
But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep.
After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling.
A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck.
The only survivor was Hillary Clinton .
That evening, the man brought Hillary to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get 'those feelings' again..
He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave in and leaned over to Hillary and told her he hadn't had sex for months. Hillary batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him.
He said, "Would you mind taking the dog for a walk?"[/COLOR][/FONT]
Giving thanks
[FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="2"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]I told you that I would tell you what I am thankful for today.
I got up feeling great today and I had a free 12 lb turkey defrosting in my fridge. I started it around noon and made some stuffing and other goodies. I finished it all around 5 pm and sat down by myself for turkey, mashed taters, homemade gravy, cranberries and homemade sweet potato pie.
It was great but I am used to feeding a lot of people and there were none.
Anyway, I am still grateful to Lonnie and his wife Alison for giving me the turkey. And here is my list of other things I am grateful for not just today, but always:
1. My kids and family. Even if they are not around, I know I am loved by someone out there at least and that is worth everything.
2. My friends. I don't have many but some of them really do care about me. The ones that don't are drifting away anyway.
3. My work and my health. I know that is two things but I wouldn't have one if not for the other. My back is shot and my health isn't great but what I do have I am very grateful for.
4. My humble abode. I live in a mobile home but I own it and my land and I have a roof over my head that I can still afford. The poor thing is falling apart as it is 35 yrs old and its not the kind that was built to last that long. Its a 3 bdrm, 1 1/2 bath that I raised both of my kids in so that they could go all through one school and not move all over that place like I had to do.
My yard is awesome and the neighborhood here is quiet most of the time. We all have a minimum of 2 acres so no one is sitting on top of each other.
5. The earth and all of it's natural beauty and inspiration. I am a child of nature and even as I age I need to feel connected to the ground, the earth and all that is around me in it.
6. I am grateful I live in this beautiful county in a free country. I am grateful that this country is waking up.
7. The career I had for over 25 yrs and still practice to a point. I loved being a Vet Tech and it took me many years of hard work to specialize in all the things I did. I was certificated 5 times over for Small Animal Nutrition and Small Animal Dentistry. I miss it everyday.My career that is!
8. The internet. Without it I wouldn't have a living now. I am grateful to Tim Berners-Lee for that. Not Al Gore.
9. The wonderful people in the Computer Science Dept that I work with. They have inspired, supported, and encouraged me to get my three associate degrees as well as my bachelor's degree. With that I will be able to teach part time and make enough money to live on with out disability.
10. To be alive still, everyday. To be awake, aware and enlightened. To be able to read and learn, to seek knowledge, wisdom and have hope and faith. To be conscious and to BE.
To have loved deeply and strongly.
I am grateful for being.
What are you grateful for today?
